Hope as and when doubling happens, travel time in KR gets further reduced

---

Kindly operate trains with electric traction as well from Mumbai to Ratnagiri and save on diesel fuel consumption

---

** It seems that there is more traffic on Roha-Madgaon section, so more saturation
** More over Roha-Madgaon is hilly terrain, so limited line capacity and more difficult to double

---

** KR has the expertise of handling new rail line projects in hilly terrains, especially in long tunnel construction.
** But IR is not giving due consideration to capacity augmentation of KR
It is neglected even in the futuristic National rail plan-2030

---

**During the period of Mr Prabhu, it was reported that the doubling shall be done simultaneously in a few more stretches in addition to Roha-Veer, but that could not materialize.
** KR want to do doubling of long tunnels in the last phase to double maximum route KMs at minimum cost in shorter time.

Doubling of Roha Veersection (47kms) is almost complete. Trains are probably regulated for Non Interlocking works.
